The Northridge Group’s State of Customer Experience 2023 research report reveals a surge in preference for online agent chat versus phone amongst 18-35-year-olds—the first time online chat has eclipsed phone!
Our Approach
Among the most fundamental technologies powering any Contact Center are its voice and omni-channel routing and management technologies.
The contact management platform not only routes and queues customer interactions, but it’s also the enabling or limiting factor when it comes to deploying advanced capabilities required to enhance Customer Experience and lower operating costs.
Our Approach
However, not all contact management platforms are created equally and upgrading or transitioning to a new Contact Center management solution can be a complicated process, necessitating a large capital investment with operational impacts.
Changing your core Contact Center technology platform requires a comprehensive understanding of the impact to:
- Other Contact Center technologies
- Existing processes and operations
- Reporting and KPI management
… and nearly all other aspects of the Contact Center.
